A revolver is going to have more recoil and be a little harder to hit your target without practice.
To get a CCW, you are going to have to show some proficiency with whatever firearm you are wishing to conceal.
I’ve heard this argument that women should use revolvers more than once. I think it’s because they think a revolver is “idiot-proof.”
The truth is, if you plan on protecting yourself with a firearm, you should practice and become at least somewhat comfortable with whichever type you plan to use. It could make all the difference if you are ever forced into a situation where you have to protect yourself.
Clearing a malfunction or jam is usually as simple a knowing how to rack your firearm. While yes, a revolver is as simple as pulling the trigger or pulling the hammer back and then pulling the trigger, you might be more comfortable with how a compact 9mm fires. Also, while a double action fire on a revolver is harder to pull the trigger, once the hammer is cocked, it’s much easier to pull. And if a kid were to figure out how to pull the hammer back, don’t think they wouldn’t be able to pull the trigger easily.
It’s never too late to go to a range and try a couple different firearms out and see what you feel more comfortable firing.
The best choice is going to be whatever you feel most comfortable using.
